Shortcuts with HomePod mini

[Jackoholly]

Hey guys!

I have a HomePod mini and would like to create a script reminding me at a certain time every morning to switch off all lights and electricals, either Siri’s voice or play a recorder audio file, however I would like the HomePod to announce this IF I'm at home. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

So if you just set a normal alarm on the HomePod, this won't remind you? Or are you just looking for a more elegant solution?

I would say a more elegant solution. Ideally an audio file I have recorded with my own voice.

1. Record you voice message and save it so Apple Music has access to it. (iTunes playlist as an example)
2. create a new scene in the Home app and call it "Turn off Lights & Electrical" select add accessories-select HomePod tap done. Then be sure the HomePod shows "play"
3. Next select Audio play audio. Choose your saved recording. Adjust any repeat, volume settings you prefer, tap done
4. Next go to Automations and create a new automation and select "Time of Day Occurs" set your time and which days of the week and also tap people and change it to "When I am home" tap next and choose your newly created scene

See if that covers your needs?
